Dear Maryland,

It's time to speak out for your right to repair

This year, the people of Maryland have a chance to guarantee their right to repair their stuff—like cell phones, laptops, and even tractors.

It’s yours. You own it. You shouldn’t have to beg the manufacturer for permission to fix it when it breaks. Tell your legislator that you want the right to repair.

There are two easy ways to get in touch: call and write. We’ll track down your legislator’s contact info for you.

representative the old-fashioned way, tell them you support Fair Repair, and tell them why. **

Common Questions about Right to Repair

What does Right to Repair do?

Right to Repair is simple. It requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses
with fair access to service information and affordable replacement parts. So you can fix the stuff you own
quickly—and get back on with your life.

That sounds great! Who would be against that?

Well, manufacturers like John Deere and Apple don’t like the idea. When your tractor breaks or your cell
phone stops working, they want to be the only people who can fix it. And they get to set whatever prices
they want for parts and service.

Is Right to Repair a new concept?

Nope! We already have right to repair for cars—that’s why you can take your Ford into a local mechanic.
They have all the same software diagnostics and service manuals that the dealerships have. This is the
result of decades of auto Right to Repair legislation—laws that have been a resounding success.

How can I get involved?

It’s time to fight for your right to repair and defend local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair
shops that keep getting squeezed out. Write or call your legislator. Tell them you support the Fair
Repair Act. Tell them that you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for
your right to repair in Maryland!
